3 Ways to Increase Kitchen Storage With a Renovation

Kitchen storage is a crucial aspect to consider during a renovation. Maximizing storage space and functionality is essential to accommodate your needs and lifestyle. By incorporating innovative storage solutions, such as pull-out shelves, deep drawers, and vertical organizers, we can create a well-organized and efficient kitchen that enhances the overall user experience.

If you're planning your kitchen renovation, here are my top 3 tips to increase storage...

Tip #1: Extend Your Cabinets to the Ceiling to Maximize Storage

Utilize vertical space. Install cabinets that reach the ceiling to maximize storage capacity. Utilize your additional shelving or cabinetry for items used less frequently or for decorative purposes.

Tip #2: Create Custom Built-Ins for Additional Storage

Overall, custom built-ins provide the opportunity to optimize storage, personalize your kitchen, and create a visually stunning and functional space that meets your unique needs and preferences.

Consider custom built-ins in and around your kitchen for maximized space utilization, personalized storage solutions, enhanced aesthetics, long-term durability, and increased home value.

Tip #3: Utilize the Island for Hidden Storage

Consider incorporating storage into your kitchen island. Kitchen islands are a must-have feature, offering several benefits. Adding storage to the island provides convenient access to frequently used items, such as pots, pans, and utensils, making them easily accessible during meal preparation.

Bonus Tip: Use Drawers for Lower Cabinetry

Choosing drawers instead of doors in kitchen base cabinets offers several advantages. Drawers provide easier access to items, allowing for better visibility and organization. They also maximize storage space by utilizing the full depth of the cabinet, making it more efficient to store and retrieve items without reaching into the back of a cabinet.
